The body grows 40 yards of hair every 24 hours.

If you stretched out all of your blood vessels, they would wrap around the entire earth.

Nerves transmit messages to and from your brain at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour.

Kidneys filter one liter of blood per minute, or the equivalent of a two-liter bottle of soda every two minutes.

The average person needs to replace about 2.5 quarts of water each day.

The human body is 70 percent water.

Everyone has between 2,000 and 5,000 taste buds. Girls typically have more than boys.

The heaviest organ in the body, the liver, weighs close to 3.5 pounds in an average adult.

The average person produces 12,000 gallons of urine in a lifetime.
